A Coombsville gem that started when a Wall Street trader fell for Napa in the '80s and never looked back; now run by her family, they're still making small-lot Rhône-style wines with hands-on precision and a little black cat's good luck.
Black Cat Vineyard focuses on Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel. Signature bottles include Rutherford and Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon with characteristic dusty-berry-spicy notes; nearly 100-year-old Zinfandel vines on Howell Mountain..
